American Horror Story: First Impressions (s04e01)


So American Horror Story Season 4 Episode 1 premiered a week and a half ago. 

Since I did a trailerreaction on my channel, I thought I’d update you on my thoughts about the first episode of the season.

I really enjoyed it!  It was weird, and a little bit of a mind fuck, the visuals are beautiful in the creepiest ways, and it just was all around riveting.  I don’t know if it’ll live up to the first two seasons, (the second of which is my favorite) but I think it will definitely surpass the third season (The Coven) which I was not a fan of.

SPOILER ALERT:

I am really enjoying the dynamic of Sarah Paulson’s two headed character, and the sisters’ mind talking thing.  Its giving us a nice insight into their own thoughts.

The whole clown thing throughout the show, was probably the freakiest part for me, and I loved the choice of keeping us in the dark of whether or not he’s part of the group until the very end.

A negative here: when Evan Peters “fingers” the woman at the little party the housewives throw, all I could think was… there is no way it would be that easy, she would have screeched if he just straight up put his hand up there like that.

I also thought the mother and son customers at the end were creepy as fuck!  I’m very interested in learning more about they’re relationship, because it seems like it could definitely get weird between the two of them, let alone what will happen in the show as a whole with them.

Lastly I want to say that I’m so glad Jessica Lange shows off her “freaky” bits at the end, revealing she doesn’t have legs.  I’m interested to know if the rest of the group knows that she is “one of them” too or if they think she’s “normal.” 


What were your thoughts on the AHS premiere? Do you have a favorite character yet?  Do you have any complaints about the first episode?
